I remember the first time I heard this song. I had been listening to nothing but classic rock and metal at the time. I had tried to figure out how many guitars were playing and thought this was actually a duet.
To this day I still regard Segovia as my favorite guitarist of all time and thank him eternally for inspiring me to take up classical guitar.

@solariis888 Ha ha. All joking aside, I've always wanted to go to Spain. My only fear is that I wouldn't want to come back.....and for the record...I prefer "Odin's snuggle-buddy"

@ravenslaves lol... no, Spain is beautiful... you will find you soon Odin's whore.

@Gheorgyi Hmm.. Leyenda happens to be a transcription of Isaac Albeniz' "Chants d'Espagne" .. or in other words .. "Songs of/from Spain. More to the point, contrary to many "virtuoso" guitarists who are only concerned about playing at breakneck speed without missing any notes, Andrés Segovia makes his guitar *sing*.. and that's the real challenge.

They asked him how long does he playing the guitar. He said: "seven months." They were surprised. After that Master added: "I was tuning up guitar about 70 years, and playing just 7 months."
A great man of his kind.

@ravenslaves Actually that's not fair. There are places in the American South West, that are far worse.

@solariis888 Been there. It's called Europe.
The guitar was considered to be a 2nd rate instrument to most of the world, and in many places, it wasn't seen or known.
...Until Segovia.
His contribution to music can never be overstated, or over appreciated.
